Catch can options S3

[Pezza82]

Hey guys, can I ask what you have done regarding catch can installations.

I am looking at either the ryco (https://www.rycofilters.com.au/catalogue/part/index/part/RCC351) or flashlube (https://www.flashlube.com/en/products/catch-can-pro.html) which pretty much have the same volumetric flow rate.

I currently have the flashlube installed on my TDI tiguan.

For the installation on the S3, I have ordered a new PCV hose and will cut it in half and splice/seal it to a hose to run to the catch can when I find a nice spot to mount it. I think next to the IE intake I can mount it, plenty of space around there. Basic drawing attached below.

At the moment I am running a stage 2 setup with 250awkw, but will be going a bigger turbo soon, I wonder if these catch cans can handle the increase in crank case pressure/kw's.

I can't find any specs of the leyo or IE ones regarding their pressures or flow rates, and can't justify over $1000 for their kits.

Cheers

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t ya rather to have the can at the lowest point possible?
Im just thinking it in how water traps work on air systems.
If it is better at a lower point you could easily hide it away from where and just empty it when ever ya do oil changes ?

The position and height there is flexible. But it will be sitting lower than the PCV side of things. Have a look at the positioning of the $1000 plus kits.
